Just have a look at today’s GM games – full of tactical twists and turns, intense fight for the initiative, sacrifices for dynamic compensation, and mind-boggling complications in ALL phases of the game.

Gone Are The Days When You Can Single-Mindedly Follow An Abstract Plan And Win Games!True, positional play and strategic understanding are still important. But…

If you do NOT have a SHARP EYE for tacticsIf you do NOT have an EFFICIENT calculation techniqueIf you do NOT have CRYSTAL-CLEAR visualization skills

…You will continuously get outclassed by players who are strong in these departments.You will LOSE to a tactical oversight after playing 40 good moves game after game after game.You will NOT realize your FULL chess potential.

You only have two choices: adapt to this trend or be left out frustrated as your chess results rot away and your progress stalled.
